The truth is, the still untitled new Star WarsTV series doesn't have a premiere date as of now. So, you're not only going to have to wait for the show, you're also going to have to wait for another announcement about when the show will start airing. And as of now, Disney's still unnamed streaming platform is slated to debut in fall 2019, according to Deadline, which means it could be a year or more before anyone gets a peek at this series from Favreau, who is no stranger to Disney. He directed the first Marvel movie, Iron Man, and is currently working on the new live-action The Lion King, in theaters July 19, 2019.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Lucasfilmplans to release multiple Star Wars TV shows. Disney CEO Bob Iger teased that there were numerous shows that will take place in the Star Warsuniverse currently in development. He didn't say whether or not all these upcoming Star Wars shows will be live-action.

But there will be more non-Star Warsshows to be excited about. Variety reported in November of 2017 that Disney is working on TV series adaptations based on Monsters Inc., the High School Musical franchise, and a new Marvel series.

While some are counting down the days until the live-action Star Wars series premieres, whenever that may be, others are wondering why this Star Warsannouncement came on International Women's Day if Lucasfilm and Disney didn't hire a woman to helm the show. As TV and film writer Alanna Bennett tweeted, "Star Wars' commitment to white dude directors is truly impressive. They're wifed up."

It's unclear if that means the next Star Warsproject will have a female or POC director or showrunner. But, many fans sure hope so, since the Star Warsfilmography, which is now nine films deep with two others on the way (Solo: A Star Wars Story and Episode IX), has yet to see a film directed by someone who isn't a white male.

While the Star Wars universehas become more diverse onscreen with new characters like Rey (Daisy Ridley), Finn (John Boyega), Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac), and Rose (Kelly Marie Tran), it hasn't made the same strides behind the scenes. Of course, Disney's new streaming service might lead to more inclusion in the Star Warsuniverse, specifically with these live-action TV shows. But, to quote Yoda, “Do. Or do not. There is no try," especially when it comes to becoming more inclusive.

For now, fans will have to wait and see if Lucasfilm holds itself to Kennedy's promise when this new live-action series finally premieres. Whenever that may be.
